The guy who put on the show sold all of his stuff relating to the hsow on Ebay. You can contact him through Ebay and he can give you info._________________Good Deals: Antichrist, Wolfram, The Unborn, Rolex, darkdescentrecords

I have an interview with Dead and Hellhammer here where they talk about the equipment that sucked in Turkey and the drumkit falling apart._________________Good Deals: Antichrist, Wolfram, The Unborn, Rolex, darkdescentrecords

i've read some copied mails by euronymous and 6 years ago a friend of mine brought me some mp3's that were supposed to be the recordings of that izmir gig. those mp3's turned out to be some other bootleg though._________________find comfort in serpent's breath...

If you're in Norway or can read the langauge, there is a huge article about Mayhem's 1990 tour in general and the Izmir show in particular in the latest issue of ENO, including interview bits with the Turkish promoter and Necrobutcher. See http://enomagasin.no/ (Full disclosure: I wrote that article.)

Ahhh, unfortunately I cannot read Norwegian.... but thanks for the tip!

Maybe you can summarize some main info the Turkish organizer gave you???

Did you also interview the guy who organized the shows in Germany? Forgot his name right now, but he is quite active these days, although not with metal but arts in general if i remeber correctly.

Quick summary/most important bits: The show got shut down a coupla songs in, the police had the venue owner cut the power due to a lacking permit to put on shows after sundown. The band had asked the sound man to tape the show but due to the chaotic circumstances no such tape was delivered post-show. Alas, it is extremely unlikely that anyone in the world is sitting on an Izmir show tape, since neither Euronymous or the promoter ever had one.

Plans to play a second show in Turkey (Ankara) and one in Greece were canceled along the way, also there seems to have been no plans to play Damascus. I've seen the band's travel itinerary and it has no mention of Syria, or Iran for that matter. The shows that actually WERE played were Annaberg, Zeitz and Leipzig in Germany and Izmir in Turkey.

I only spoke to the promoter in Turkey and Necrobutcher, no one in Germany. I do have a document somewhere which would have the German promoter's name on it. If you want to contact him, send me a PM and I'll conjure up his name._________________

The movie "Pure Fucking Mayhem" has an interview where Necrobutcher if I remember correctly is talking about the Turkey show, travelling there, dealing with cops, getting nosebleeds, and telling the crowd to fuck off.
